Medical Restrictions & Which Countries They Serve

This list is a list of conditions that can lead to a Peace Corps medical restriction. By clicking on the link, you'll be taken to a page that lists the countries people with that condition have gone to in the past. Please note that this was compiled through a survey, so this list is in no way complete and is entirely subject to change due to (a) evaluations made case by case, and (b) the ever changing availability of care in different countries.

To add to this list, go to edit the page, and there will be a big list of condition names enclosed with "|" and "[[" and "]" Find the first "Add" and replace the word "Add" with your condition. Save. The new updated page should now list your condition, only in a red link. Click your condition in the red link. It'll take you to a brand new blank edit page. From there, you can use the same format the other condition pages use to write which country accepted it, and which didn't
